For the first time, Temple University is offering a special course that examines the Black man in America.

Instructor Ed Coleman says his course, The Black Man, is designed to look beyond all of the grim statistics and media stereotypes and get students to critically examine the roots and characteristics of the modern African American man.

According to Coleman, the black man's baggage has its roots in slavery, when the role of manhood was subverted from provider to survivor and sexual tool. "Where African American men or African men had been forced to be breeders and studs and that became the prevalent notion of what it meant to be a man where the emphasis was placed on the individual rather than the family or the community."

The class, which is in Temple's African American studies department, covers education, spirituality, health and criminal justice issues and relationships.

Id just heard this on the radio. Professor Coleman was interviews and said that part of the class was to keep a daily journal on issues related to the black man in America.

To paraphrase he said that when you see 3 black men on the corner, approach it from the viewpoint that they do so because theyve been denied the chance to do anything else in society and that this is actually a from of abuse.

"Professor" Coleman is full of cr^p. Until the Great Society, marriage rates and 2-parent households among blacks were as high as whites. Following the Civil War, former slaves sought to re-unite families for decades. Sounds like pure blame "whitey" BS.

"Where African American men or African men had been forced to be breeders and studs..." Sounds like some Black man's fantasy.

-- LOL! True!!

I wonder what a realistic course along these lines would include. Malt liquor? Violent crime? Bad music? Abysmal English? Walking like a chicken? It seems like a right-thinking student could have a lot of fun in a course like this.

I thought only us Southerners were supose to have racist sterio types like that. There may be hope for you yankees after all.

"Gosh, I'll bet this class is a great place to meet dumb white chicks."

Honest to God, about a week ago a thirteen year old white girl at school came over to the van, which I was driving to pick up our boys from the home, and looked over the boys. She told them that she went only with black dudes.

This is the same girl that wrote a letter to a Sudanese boy at the home, calling him sexy man and telling him that she wanted him to do a threesome with her and her Native American friend.

But many young white girls are looking for black dudes now. I see it all the time here.

Wait a minute. Isn't this what Jimmy the Greek said? He said it helped to explain the apparent superiority of black athletes--because the slave owners selected the strongest slaves to be breeders.

But Jimmy was fired for saying this. I wonder if Coleman will be fired?

Did YOU get out of your van and give her some fatherly advice about the kind of life she is going to have if she continues in her current mode? I could NOT have resisted - course, mine would have been motherly advice......poor girl.

The sort of behavior is permoted in the schools and all the media now. Just sit down a watch a few programs aimed at teen and pre-teen girls. (I have a 14year old daughter and an 11 year old daughter so I get to watch them all the time.)

Back in the Civil Rights era the rallying cry was "I am a Man." A man, not a freak, not a half witted child and not something to be studied like an exotic animal. I guess the folks at Temple have forgotten this.

It is really hard to convince teenage girls that this type of behavior is self destructive, we they see Carman Electra going out with Dennis Rodman on the covers of teen magazines. Then they see a Madonna vidio with black guys all around. Then they go to school and learn that the only people who accomplished anything throughout history were black. <

First of all CC..let's characterize this as sexual promiscuity at a young age...not divide it by the races...and yes, I understand completely, as I have a 15 y/o daughter..and no matter how hard you try to shield them from the crap that they shouldn't be exposed to, it is IMPOSSIBLE. It has permeated the schools, TV, Radio, and magazines...Grown men oggling them is taken as the highest complement..I have actually gotten in the faces of some of these men at malls when they start drooling like that. And have also jacked up a few young punks when they look at my daughter and stick their tongue out at her in a suggestive manner or grab their crotch. I don't care that I am 4'11", I'll go up against the biggest and meanest of them. But through it all of course,,,she is embarassed at MY behavior...

You'd think the Feminazis at NOW would be more concerned about Societies Sluttification of young girls than their Lesbian issues.

I didn't say that. I would rather they were though. I don't particularly care for the way the media encourages interracial dating. I have no doubt that there are many black parents who fell the same way.

Not just Temple, Marxist/Leftists are the rule far more than the exception. Colleges love to advance the all minorities are victims of the evil, selfish white, and usually the white man. In fact, Id be hard pressed to think of a University that doesnt have an African American Studies program which advances exactly this type of garbage under the auspices of academia.

When I think about the values that Martin Luther King extolled, which, boiled down was a color blind society and I see where the civil rights leaders of today have led society, and the black community in particular, he must be spinning in his grave.

Classes like this just further exacerbate racial relations by trying to exaggerate differences and shift blame from those responsible (the individual) to a loosely defined group (society or whitey).

My sister does a lot of couceling of young girls outside of abotion clinics. What she tells me is that a very high percentage of the girls going in are the children of wealthy white liberals who have been made pregnant by black men.

"Where African American men or African men had been forced to be breeders and studs and that became the prevalent notion of what it meant to be a man where the emphasis was placed on the individual rather than the family or the community."

The idiot professor can't even get that right. "Breeding" was looked down upon by slave owners. That's why their children were sold. Slaves were encouraged *not* to "breed."

And the emphasis on "individualism" when you're a... slave? Haha! This man is a genius!
